Traffic Flow Modelling Around Roundabouts Using Navier–Stokes and Advection–Diffusion Equations
(International Journal of Recent Research in Mathematics Computer Science and Information Technology, 2025)Urban roundabouts are safer than signalised junctions yet remain prone to congestion under unbalanced demand and operational incidents. Existing microscopic and macroscopic approaches rarely capture, within a single framework, ... -
Mathematical Modelling of Traffic Flow Dynamics Around Roundabouts Using Navier– Stokes and Advection–Diffusion Equations
(International Journal of Recent research in interdisciplinary sciences, 2025)Traffic congestion is a persistent challenge in urban transport systems, particularly around roundabouts where nonlinear merging and circulating flows create instability and delays. Traditional microscopic, mesoscopic, and ... -

Existing approaches either ... -
A Novel Poiseuille Equation Framework for Pulsatile Flow Dynamics in Accident-Induced Carotid Artery Constrictions
(International Journal of Scientific Engineering and Science, 2025)Stroke and carotid artery injury remain significant contributors to global morbidity, with accident-induced disruptions in blood flow presenting acute clinical risks. Existing modelling approaches are either overly ... -
Novel Mathematical Modelling of Pulsatile Blood Flow in Carotid Arteries via Poiseuille Equation
(International Journal of Recent Research in Mathematics Computer Science and Information Technology, 2025)Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading global cause of death, with carotid artery dysfunction contributing significantly to ischemic stroke and long-term disability. The problem addressed in this study is the limited ... -
Association of microclimatic and edaphic factors with sandfly abundance and distribution in Bungoma county, Kenya
(2025)Sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae) are the only known primary vectors of leishmaniases including cutaneous leishmaniasis. Infected female phlebotomine sandflies pass Leishmania parasites to humans and animals as they bite ... -
Prevalence and Antibiotic Susceptibility Profiles of Staphylococcus aureus Derived from Wound Samples of Diabetic Patients Attending the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, Kenya
(Open Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2025)Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of delayed wound healing worldwide, especially among diabetic patients, due to the bacterium’s resistance to antibiotics. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, antimicrobial ... -
Profile of predominant gram-negative pathogenic bacteria in River Sosiani and wastewater systems in Eldoret Town, Uasin Gishu County, Kenya
(American Society for microbiology, 2025)Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria play a significant role in spreading infections, with some strains exhibiting resistance to multiple antibiotics. Aquatic and wastewater systems, which receive effluents from various ... -
Modification of Solution pH as a Mechanism of Tolerance to Acidity and Aluminium Stress in Selected Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) Cultivars
(Journal of Aquatic and Terrestrial Ecosystems, 2025-10)Aluminium toxicity is a major constraint to crop production in soils with a pH below 5.5. However, plant species exhibit varied tolerance mechanisms. Nine (9) cowpea cultivars that were coded; UOE-COWPEA-1, UOE-COWPEA-2, ... -
Antioxidant and Antidiabetic Effects of Mondia whitei Root Extract in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Wistar Rats
(Open Access Library Journal, 2025)Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia and is a major contributor to global morbidity and mortality. Although Mondia whitei has been traditionally used for its ... -
Determination of cyanide concentration levels among cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) germplasm in Kenya
(Advances in Nutrition and Food Science, 2025)Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a major carbohydrate source in the human diet, yet certain varieties harbor high cyanogenic glycoside concentrations, posing risks of cyanide toxicity. This study sought to determine ... -
Comparative Analysis of Phenotypic and Molecular Characterization of Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Germplasm in Kenya
(African Journal of Applied and Theoretical Studies in Agriculture, 2024)Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a crucial staple crop in Kenya, but its genetic diversity has not been fully exploited in breeding programs. This study compares phenotypic and molecular characterisation methods ... -
Molecular characterization of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) germplasm in Kenya
(Advances in Agriculture, Horticulture and Entomology, 2024)Globally, as a staple food crop, cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) provides millions of people with a substantial amount of carbohydrates. Selection of the appropriate parental forms for breeding programs is the most ... -
DELIMITATION OF CASSAVA GERMPLASM CLUSTERS IN KENYA BASED ON PHENOTYPIC TRAITS
(African Crop Science Journal, 2024)Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a staple food and more lately, cash crop in Kenya, supporting millions of stakeholders along its value chain. However, the phenotypic variability of the crop in the country is not ... -
Phenotypic Characterization of Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Germplasm in Kenya
(ASRIC Journal on Agricultural Sciences, 2023)Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is an important cash crop for many small scale farmers in Kenya. The cassava genetic resources in Kenya are often underestimated due to improper characterization of the germplasm available. ... -
